Name recognition plays an important role in identifying function, parameters and audience, as well as perception, in any established product or entity. These concerns led Airport Manager Byron Broussard to encourage county officials to change Jefferson County Airport to Southeast Texas Regional Airport. He said, “the name change will reflect the nature of the airport and the clientele it serves.” U.S. and state officials concurred with this decision and offered their support.
